Suspect In W. Point Killing Strikes A Plea Deal

October 04, 2006|By Daily Press

The last of three defendants to be tried in the killing of a West Point man in October 2005 pleaded guilty to two charges Monday in return for not facing a murder trial.

Jerrold Crump, 19, of New Kent County was sentenced to two 10-year prison terms, with all but one year and four months suspended, said his attorney, Patrick Kelley, of Williamsburg. Kelley said Crump pleaded guilty to attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.

Kelley said Crump cooperated with authorities, including testifying in the jury trial of the triggerman, Morris Lee Randall Jr., 29, of Henrico County. The jury convicted Randall last month and sentenced him to 47 years in prison.

A third defendant, Darryl Moody, 34, of New Kent pleaded guilty to murder and two robbery-related charges. He was scheduled to be sentenced Monday, but court records were not available Tuesday from that proceeding.

The three were charged in the Oct. 14, 2005, shooting death of Craig Dwayne Robinson Jr., 20, in a vacant lot near the West Point Hardee's. *
